TL;DR: The first direct determination of the dissipation range of magnetofluid turbulence in the solar wind at the electron scales is reported and a remarkable agreement with theoretical predictions of a quasi-two-dimensional cascade into Kinetic Alfvén Waves (KAW).

TL;DR: For example, NASA's magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) mission has found direct evidence for electron demagnetization and acceleration at sites along the sunward boundary of Earth's magnetosphere where the interplanetary magnetic field reconnects with the terrestrial magnetic field as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A higher-order multiscale analysis of the dissipation range of collisionless plasma turbulence is presented using in situ high-frequency magnetic field measurements from the Cluster spacecraft in a stationary interval of fast ambient solar wind, showing a crossover from multifractal intermittent turbulence in the inertial range to non-Gaussian monoscaling in the Dissipation range.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show Cluster observation of bipolarization fronts inside the reconnection diffusion region, which provides in situ evidence of the second mechanism: Transient reconnection can produce bipolarization front.
